I've got the bbq just planned, but if you guys wanna go do a run afterwards thats all good. I wouldn't be able to do it mainly cause I'll probably just have enough money to make it to the meet lol

I get like 17mpg in my truck on a GOOD day. Thank the Chevy Gods for Central Port Injected 4.3L V6 Boingers!

The good news is that if you guys bust up your cars, I can tow ya!

Unless I can suddenly procure an exhaust system, some other bits and get it registered and smogged by the 25th...

I've heard mixed things about Ben.

Anyways, I don't touge during the day. Middle of the night only for me. I mentioned the Mt. Hamilton run because there are absolutely no cars and you are so far out in the middle of nowhere there are no cops which also means there is no gas. It takes my boy 3/4 of a tank in his crossfire to do it so it is out of the question for us Rotary drivers as that would equal at least a tank for us.

Only complaint I've seen at Ben is taking a long time. But he tells you ahead of time hes busier than hell and don't expect your car back super soon. He's usually got 4 cars in his shop at a time..so usually people are like the 5th rebuild when they drop their cars off. Other than that he does top notch work. I forgot what he charges, but it's less than any other reputable shop out there.

If you guys wanna cruise on the day of I'd be down but we'll figure that out later. Also if you are coming later in the day go ahead and give me a call before you head over to make sure we haven't moved and if we need for you to bring something in particular. PM if you want my number!

Its getting closer to D-Day guys so if you're signed up just double check and let us know if you're still coming! Probably on fri or sat I'll send everyone on the list a pm to remind ya!

i just got a S5 engine from a customer ( it was just sitting at their house so i got it) i can pull the exhaust studs off of that, as far as a RB header all i got is an old school Rotary Engineering header but it is promised to someone else but if it falls threw and if you want it, its yours.
